4 Freedom and complexity [ ] You have complete freedom with graphics and content so you can easily create a web presence that reflects your organisation's unique skills and talents. You can also build complex applications to create functionality that's unique to you. Add new functions without starting from scratch Tangora Web CMS is fully modular which means you can add modules as you need them without reducing the functionality of what you've already created. The Base Module should be enough to get you started. But many customers like to create their web presence from our Base Module and the support of 2 to 3 additional modules. Later, they add more modules to widen functionality. In every case, they can add new functionality to what they already have. They never have to start again from scratch. Take charge of your web presence: Tangora Web CMS gives detailed visitor statistics, 25 ready-to-use function modules, and 100% graphic freedom in a search-enginefriendly CMS. 4 Tangora - Broch m Metalpicto -9 feb09 indd 4 2/10/09 3:27:00 PM

6 An intranet promotes efficiency and job satisfaction An intranet is a superb example of how Tangora Web CMS can streamline your business. A well-functioning intranet is an organisational asset with benefits for every employee. By connecting your intranet to your company's other IT systems, you make information fully accessible to everyone, or just to those with permission to view it. Ready access to key information is a great time saver and a route to better decision making. Your intranet is a shared resource that contains all the information and tools your colleagues need. Everything they want is at hand; they can work from their own desktops using their normal browser. The intranet of construction company Altan.dk encourages employees to share knowledge about current building issues, including supplier agreements, building licences and deadlines. Employees also use it to record their holidays and absence. 6 Tangora - Broch m Metalpicto -9 feb09 indd 6 2/10/09 3:27:00 PM

7 Round-the-clock service through your extranet An extranet is a web-based resource that brings business partners closer together. It's a website with restricted access. Only people and organisations with the relevant permissions can use it for communication and collaboration. When you build your extranet with Tangora Web CMS, you get an easy-to-manage service point that keeps you and your partners in touch 24 hours a day. Through your extranet, your company can stay in constant touch with a limitless number of business partners. You can provide them with up-to-the-minute product information, price lists, order forms, sales material, support, project control and reporting tools.
